The children the program serves all have individual stories and experiences, but share one thing: their emotional and/or physical health has been jeopardized by someone who is supposed to nurture and protect them. In addition to that victimization, their path to healthy development is now at the discretion of a court system that has little personal knowledge of them. CASA/GAL volunteers advocate to ensure that no child's story goes unheard and that there is someone committed solely to their wellbeing.
